title: Value 101: the basics of clinical transformation.
abstract: Health systems should take strong steps to ensure that their current and aspiring finance leaders are fully prepared to engage with clinicians in meeting the requirements of healthcare reform. In 2012, Bon Secours held a clinical transformation finance intensive to teach finance staff how to accelerate clinical transformation within their markets. The education and skills that Bon Secours' finance professionals gained from the intensive have strengthened the health system's ability to respond to the challenges of reform.
